@izzy_diab I think the risk of ideological capture will be somewhat lower due to more ideological variance between owner and upper management and that the ideological capture that does happen will be in a different direction than the site's elite users — PolitiTweet.org

@sivavaid @nytimes The premise that you can reliably judge people on this platform by whatever Tweet of theirs you find dumbest, extrapolating to the rest of their life based on it, is unsound. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey This tweet makes no sense. We agree that this story is less important than Watergate. Comparing the two by saying Watergate was more important is totally unobjectionable. — PolitiTweet.org

In 2018 I urged Twitter to ban all sitting world leaders from the platform. https://t.co/voXR68QbHM I still think that's a good idea. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
It's incredible, in an industry that mostly publishes articles that incrementally increase understanding of marginally important stories, to see reporting mocked and denounced because it isn't as important as Watergate and comprehensive at the start in a way Watergate wasn't — PolitiTweet.org

In service of the narrative that the old Twitter regime was moral and responsible while the new Twitter regime is not, many journalists have overlooked relevant context, failed to engage obvious counterarguments, and revealed their own double standards. https://t.co/koUDx8FSVM — PolitiTweet.org

@danielwinlander @ijbailey This is different in that Musk owns Twitter but leaker dictating where a thing is published is not as different as you're making it out to be — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@danielwinlander @ijbailey It seems to me that leakers often choose journalists precisely because they want the information to be published first in a specific outlet, and that if the (say) NYT journalist said "I'm going to post it on Instagram instead" they'd give the story to someone else — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey @thomaschattwill I suspect it was understood that he would publish at the newspaper where he worked. As I understand it, *publish on Twitter first* is the only condition. That seems to give the journos involved lots of freedom re comprehensiveness & I expect to see lots more info over time — PolitiTweet.org

@bendreyfuss I won't know what I think of the coverage decisions for sure till they all come out, but I think adding this much specificity to the debate about shadow banning, however defined, may well be among the most clarifying and therefore newsworthy things that are uncovered. — PolitiTweet.org

@bendreyfuss I think you may be significantly overestimating the state of public knowledge and clarity about content moderation practices because you did it professionally. IMHO the average reader of Bari's thread is learning a lot. I myself have new clarity on some things — PolitiTweet.org

It's not entirely implausible. Imagine of Twitter had throttled the reach of all accounts that championed *defund the police*. Would that have helped or hurt the electoral prospects of Democrats? I can imagine it going either way — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@bendreyfuss @michaelbd The problem is that the vast majority of people who complained about "shadow banning" were objecting to something other than the way Twitter defined it in that blog post. They were saying, in essence, you're throttling the reach of my Tweets because of your ideological bias. — PolitiTweet.org
